About

The TU/e is an internationally leading university that specializes in Engineering Science & Technology. It is one of the top three universities of technology in the Netherlands. The difference between regular and special Bachelor´s and Master´s programs is in their formal status. Special Bachelor´s and Master´s programs do not yet have independent status, although they will probably gain this in the future. Students find the atmosphere at the TU/e open, informal and friendly. That means it´s easy for students to make contact with teachers and other staff.

Company fitness

A good health is not self-evident.
Smoking and "bad" food are not the only threats to your health. Not sufficient exercise or daily repetitive movements can jeopardize your health (back problems, RSI etc.)
Regular and varied exercise can help prevent these problems.

There are several associations, clubs and circles associated with the TU/e, which are meant to help students and staff develop themselves in non-academic areas. Such areas include cultural development, building international contacts and investigating spiritual beliefs.
